Also, wait, what do you mean two sets of two Jacks?
I think he means that Jack Beta (long-lived Jack) overlapped, at different times, with both Jack Alpha and Jack Gamma.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, okay.
And also, bwah!

Our wings are not tired.
This is fun, not in the least because I can toss around "alpha" and "beta".
Who wouldn't want to live in a world with alpha, beta, and gamma Jacks to um, toss around?
